Women's Footy AFLW Season 2024

[pK75]

They start poorly so they don't want to waste the wind. It also helps with their perceived strength of finishing well. It has worked well until today and our worst quarter was the second, where we actually had the breeze

That second quarter was bizarre decision making, had the breeze but kept trying to chip short around the boundary and ended up kicking about 4 ootf to give the ball back to the crows instead of just going long and trying to get out the back.

Oh well, didn’t quite have the class this season, but still achieved better than expected. Won a final!

I think we had more inside 50's in the first quarter than we did for the rest of the match - like 60% first quarter, 40% in the remaining 3 quarters.

This stat I gave has to be crap. I was basing in on what I thought I heard one of the commentators say, either TV or radio, that we had 15 inside 50's in the first quarter, and seeing we ended up with 26.

The West article says it was 13-6 inside 50's to Adelaide. We did take 3 marks inside 50m in the first quarter though and we did get it past centre a lot.

Having watched it again, Adelaide score was 1:1 from those 13 entries, and they barely had another shot on goal. There was one set shot by Gould from about 25m out that was kicked into the Fremantle player on the mark.

Do agree with the gist of that article in the West Australian on the bottom half of the page where it talks about inches becoming yards, becoming miles. While 6 goals seems like a huge margin in AFLW, to get better by a 9-10 points each quarter across a game, it's a matter of convert one goal when you've got the chance and preventing one of theirs.

We need a forward line for next year.

Tighe would have helped. But need a few more players who are consistently dangerous goalkickers.

Tighe and Antonio are 32 as well. Won't be there forever.

So next year?

Think we keep Kikoak and GBW. So have to find two spots and need at least one in the draft.

I think Cregg, maybe Mulder? Stribley? Tough to prove you should stay when you never get to play

Suspect Antonio may retire ?

Trades? Will Miller ( with Runnels) ask for a trade after captaincy crap?

 

[Taylor]

Antonio has the small running power game style in the tall frame, and her running is falling off. I feel like she's more damaging collecting the ball running towards goal rather than leading at the kicker.

 

[freo_leo29]

Antonio has one more in her imo

Cregg is gone

Mulder probably too

Stribley gone

Runnalls should go hopefully

Morrison gets another

Mulholland gets 1 more as that pressure forward

Tux may be in trouble

 

[Raz]

I think time for Antonio to just go gracefully, Get someone who has good skills and we will go fine

Thanks Ebony for all you done. but it is time sorry
